Sheet metal is metal shaped into flat and thin pieces by an industrial process. Sheet metals are widely used in many industries such as automotive and aerospace. They can be bent and cut in any form. Most of the mass production cars are made from sheet metals. Thus, sheet metals are the key materials of the automotive industry. In the aircraft manufacturing industry, use of sheet metals for making aircraft parts and bodies has increased due to their lightweight and high level of strength.

Expansion of the sheet metal processing equipment market can be attributed to the increase in demand from automotive and aerospace industries. Sheet metals are used as a prime material in car production in the automotive industry. Automobile sales in India are expected to increase due to key factors such as drop in price of crude oil and implementation of GST (Goods & Services Tax) that reduces the tax on vehicles. Thus, boost in the automotive industry is likely to impact the expansion of the sheet metal processing equipment market in India. Furthermore, sheet metal processing equipment such as laser cutting machines are being used increasingly in aircraft manufacturing for higher accuracy. Hence, several aircraft manufacturers are heavily investing in production expansion activities in order to meet the increase in demand. As a result, the sheet metal processing equipment market is likely to expand at an impressive pace in the next few years.

Increase in Use of Plastic and Carbon Fiber Reduces Application of Sheet Metal Processing Equipment

Plastic and carbon fiber based gears are easily available at low price. Furthermore, these gears enhance speed and fuel capacity of vehicles. Due to all these advantages, automobile manufacturers are increasingly adopting plastic and carbon fiber to replace metal gears. This is likely to hinder the market in the near future.
